Twestival is taking place around the world on Thursday, March 24. Twestival, aka Twitter Festival, uses social media for social good by connecting communities offline on a single day to highlight a great cause and have a fun event. Twestival is the largest global grassroots social media fundraising initiative to date. Since 2009, volunteers have raised close to $1.2 million for 137 nonprofits. All local events are organized 100% by volunteers and 100% of all ticket sales and donations go direct to projects.

On that note, I’ll be donating $80 to the Sebastian Ferrero Foundation because I received 80 likes on Facebook! That’s what I like to call using a social network for social good 🙂
